respectively, 4 miles east of the M25 (Junction 16) and 5 miles
north of the M4 (Junction 4).
DEMOGRAPHICS & RETAIL PROFILE
The demographic profile of Uxbridge indicates above average
affluence with over 56% of the population categorised in the
AB and C1 social groups and over 77% of the population
owning at least one car.
Uxbridge has an extensive catchment population of 349,000
people extending as far as Rickmansworth to the north and the
M4 to the south, attracting a regular shopping population of
196,000 people.
SITUATION
The property comprises three separate retail units which have
been amalgamated behind the facades.
21 and 22 High Street have been combined to create a single
well configured banking unit at ground floor level with secure
storage provided at basement level. The first and second floor
levels comprise open plan office accommodation, spreading
across all three properties and providing open plan offices and a
‘Club Lloyds’ area with partitioned customer offices at first floor.
The second floor provides further office accommodation and a
staff kitchen and break-out area. Male and female staff WCs are
located on both first and second floors.
The subject property is located close to the entrance of
Uxbridge underground station and the recently renamed Intu
Uxbridge shopping centre, commanding a prominent position
on Uxbridge’s9 prime pedestrianised retail pitch.
The property also benefits from a basement, which currently
houses the bank’s vaults and ancillary storage space. The
properties have direct access to a rear service yard, which also
provides eight car parking spaces.

The Pavilions and Intu Uxbridge shopping centres. The entrance
to the Pavilions is within 150 metres of the property. The two
shopping centres both provide extensive car parking facilities
with Intu Uxbridge having a capacity in excess of 1,500 spaces,
supplying most of the town’s main parking provision.
Lloyds comprehensively refurbished the property in 2014,
including the refitting of all customer facing areas.

with an open plan sales area to the front and partitioned kitchen
and staff WC to the rear. To the rear is a fenced patio area with
wooden decking.
